VLOG #299 - Let me know your thoughts in the comments section 🙈
Appreciate your support! 😉
Last video: *PIRATE ACTIVITY ON VENEZUELA COAST:*
czcams.com/video/eU95r0PB7dM/video.html&t=
Venezuela is hosting its first international beauty pageant starting on October 9th. I posted a video asking viewers if the pageant should be cancelled because of the current dangerous situation in the country. I included your report on my vlog. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. czcams.com/video/tszmRtFEbPg/video.html
Nice propaganda to relax the American people, now that USA has pulled out of the situation. It would have been bring journalism if you did it a year or too ago. However I am sure things are better since millions of people left that country I'm sure there's more food to go around.
I want to help people in Venezuela dont leave them they need you
Hi Nick, I just wanted to say as a Venezuelan, you were very lucky to leave unharmed and with everything you went in. I also wanted to ask you if I could use some of your footage for a video I'm producing to make awareness about the situation. Please send me a DM or reply here. Thanks man! @SandroDBL
what happened to the charity donation thing?
From the bottom of my heart: THANK YOU.
Thank you for showing my country to the world and I hope you can come back to a better Venezuela.
Luis Alejandro Loyo V. You’re country is beautiful and it will be great again 👍
VE will rise again, that is certain. Too many fabulous people, too many stolen gifts from God.
Baduck brother...all happening due to politics.. people suffering..
i feel the same way about the USA
It's SHOWING ...not, sowing.
Idiot !!!!!
Wow. The little boy on the steps singing still haunts me from many videos ago. You said something that I have been thinking all a long and it hit hard, "I get to leave after 2 weeks, but Lenny and Jose are going to be staying." Even though it is their home country that they love, living in a crisis situation wears you down. No words. May Venezuela recover, as fast as possible.
Yes, let's hope for them and Venezuela 🙏
That little boy haunts me too.i could listen to him all day!
That boy haunts me too..
God ...please save the people and the country
Lenny has a great voice, he should be in radio.
His english is pretty good as well
my favorite part about the venezuela series was the $200K raised on go fund me. thanks to Indigo traveler.
Who asked 200k go fund me
They’ll never see the money !
Mister Mylo the people’s in this video will
I think it went way past 200k. It was to donate to help the kids in the slums. $10 feeds a kid for a month. Here is the link if you want to donate. I did. www.gofundme.com/alimentalasolidaridadpetare
@@steveo1240 why?
They took you to the most dangerous place the last day! Im from Venezuela and have been in all of the places you visited but NEVER the spanish old road. Is abandoned and the only way in and out is close to “23 de Enero”, so basically you are in the wolf mouth. However, thanks for the visit and excellent job
Alejandro Calvo indeed!
It's actually going up La Pastora, and the barrio El Polvorín. They were at risk there the whole time even though they didn't feel it.
Can you expand on how this area is "off limits"?
@@shred1 It is more likely controlled by paramilitary groups called "colectivos" and/or is part of a "Zona de Paz" or peace zone that is an area where the government agrees with the local crime lord not to enter or intervene if they pinky swear they are gonna leave their weapons and deal with the order and local disputes peacefully, making them the de facto official that answer to no one, sound crazy but just as I describe.
So if you are there and the local Colectivo does not like it or the head of the peace zone is not pleased you are in their hands, literally you are in no man's land, or off limits.
@Niels Verrydt Yes , and before the socialists tried to fix what wasn't broken , it was the wealthiest in Central and South Americas .
You have no idea the pain I feel in my heart when you show the reality of my country like this. I lived a few years ago when I had to visit my family and you reflect the reality in a very honest way. I've been living in Australia for a few years now, and still my country hurts in my DNA. Like Lenny said, these issues won't dissolve overnight, unfortunately. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, really.
Jorge Luis González who’s to blame??? Venezuelans? The Venezuelan leaders? Or trump?? 🤣🤣
@@bonkersblock Unfortunately we don't gain anything on blaming anyone. Each one has a quote of responsibility, some more, some less. What do you think?
Is it true that an oz. Of silver can buy 2 weeks worth of food out there?
Try be a Zimbabwean . . . this is fetal, believe me !!!!!
Venezuelan's are welcome around the world as they tend to add to any countries citizenry , hard working, proud, sensible people, and usually very capable people with valuable skills .. Know many here in Canada, and for the most part have been great to deal and work with.. The country has so much more to offer than oil production, oil is a blessing, but the government should have looked into refining and petrochemicals , and production of goods three parts fro removed for the cheap oil they have access to (plastics, pharma, engineering, aviaton fuel, Embraer partnership ?).. as well as their greatest resource, it's people ..A country can do anything with people like that, hopefully most will come home when this is over..
Lenny and Jose have been God sent to you...wishing them, their families and the people of Venezuela all the best...
I have family in Merida and they are struggling, especially getting money to them. The presentation, the quality, nothing short of professionalism. This has got to be the best series on Venezuela! I enjoyed it immensely. Keep up the great work.
I am a Venezuelan living abroad and really appreciate your reporting and account of things, thanks, 23 years living in Australia and 19 years that since I haven’t been to the country I was born... thanks
What do you think of Australia?
Australia good country lol
@@tjhughes9099 I think it's better than Venezuela!
I am an American living abroad yet have absolutely no interest in returning to the States...it is only a place .... and rather an ugly place of people right now
James Humphrey thanks for sharing James, don’t blame you, and it takes courage to acknowledge it and leave.
This Venezuela series is better than Netflix!
- Netflix is a platform not a show.
You must not have Netflix.
Run The Atlas hands down
@@johnashley327 you must not have a life
As a Venezuelan I not only appreciate with all my heart your content here but also the love and effort you put into the making and the editing for these videos within the series. Thank you, you have a friend in me
Love & Support to all of you ♥️✊
It's interesting the people commenting from these countries mostly give approval, as opposed to feeling like their country is exploited for social media purposes. I think everyone is proud of their country now matter how good and bad.
Im going to miss Lenny and Venezuela in your vlogs. I know I'm always heaping praise on you're content but the rawness and and selflessness to go into a frankly damgerous country then make amazing content is awesome. Fantastic series and here's to the next adventure.
I feel the same. Lenny is a huge part in this series. Such a simple and cool man.
Love all your videos man but this particular series has been really eye-opening. Thanks for making this content!
Øxygэи agreed
Agree it was so need for the world to see this. Fuck being one sided.
I would just like to add, it is really difficult to know what the real situation is like in these countries - MSM always has an agenda so it is really refreshing to see content that doesn't have any kind of political affiliation nor motivation. I enjoyed your travels in Iran for the same reason.
time to buy into Venezuela for a huge windfall when it all turns around soon i would say
@@jameshumphrey9939 You are right on the spot Mr. Humphrey. If you want to invest in Venezuela for huge profits in the short term (assuming the political situation changes) or know anyone interested, don't doubt contacting me! I'm from the country and still reside here so I can lend you a hand in the investment process.
Living in a bordertown. You get used to the violence you hear or see on the other side. You become numb, so it feels like its no big deal. It wasn't until I moved away I truly understood this is not a normal life.
Manni Interrupted I used to think the crime, violence, wickedness, and cruelty was normal, and I was the freak who can’t adapt. Then I went to the US for over 6 months the first time since I was a child... my perspective changed in extreme ways. Let’s leave that my eventual return to venezuela was difficult
Manni Interrupted that’s exactly what happened to me when I moved from Puerto Rico to United States. They normalize this things. When you actually come to a place where people obey they law and follow the rules that blows your mind.
@@planetagonzo nothing to do with following the laws or the rules, it's about having sense of kindness, community, humble, being true to the nature of earth...
RGF well that’s the last thing you see in highly corrupt countries. Everyone just take care of their assholes. You’re by your own. You can’t trust the police. The government. Nobody. Everyone is out to get you. That’s how it is there.
@@thefrugivoreanimal sorry but kindness, community and humbleness is not something id associate with the USA. Ever heard of Skidrow? It does however have everything to do with the fact that most of the US citizens DO follow the law.
Im so sad this series is over, but the reality is that the struggle goes on for the people of that country. Venezuela libre !! 🇻🇪🇻🇪
We have tons of Venezuelans here in Peru. Most of whom I encounterd were nice people. Sad world
Viva Peru. I was there twice in 2018. I love your country.
From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU.
Loved your videos, hope you can go back soon, as well I do... because I left the country definitely a year ago, I suffered 2 kidnaps and from that moment I said "enough". No matter how much money you can have in Venezuela, life quality is awful.
God bless you fella'
Just my personal opinion but from what I've seen I don't imagine he'll be going back anytime soon!
Beautiful country, beautiful people but sad story:(
whats sad? this liar richy kid?
except for the people buying it all up to make a huge profit later
@@henryglarsson2635 he is not a liar, you are.
@@Ponciostr he's a naughty boy
@@henryglarsson2635 FUCK OFF LOSER!
Yes, Caracas is still a beautiful city because the people of Venezuela are real people just like you and I. I was saddened to see how much the country has changed since I first went to Venezuela in 1975. Caracas was an international city with a very robust economy and sure, they had squalor and poverty back then too. But it looks like the slum area of the city has grown to tremendous size as compared to back then. There is an island of tall buildings and the center of whatever commerce there is just like there was back then. When I was there the traffic was pretty heavy in the city. it reminds me of Cuba in a way. There are very few modern vehicles running around like back then. There is definitely a note of poverty everywhere you turn the camera. Back in 75 people walked around in the fashions like the U.S. was wearing and they were up with the latest fashion and there was an air of prosperity back then. You really didn't worry too much about getting robbed or accosted then. We went where we were warned not to go and we got along very well with everyone in the so-called red zone. I think it is a matter of how you present yourself to people and whether you show people respect or not. If you try and talk to people like you are no better than they are you will get that back. I hope this country does not fall into war because it is already hard enough to live there. What it needs is some great leadership and someone that wants Venezuela to be a free and open society and equal rights for all.
Again, international for who? Everyone?
Pray for Venezuela, may the better days is coming soon for this country, peace from toba land-Indonesia
Indonesia....another American target !
Thank you, thank you for all your Venezuela videos. I hope one day everything gets better :(.
America too !
I hope Venezuela can rebuild their lives. This is eye-opening.
I hope they learn from Hong Kong and other success stories.
Thanks mate. Blessings
@@MbeyaIsHome is not the same. The Venezuelan government is just a gang in power. They're killing thousands of people every year to remain in power
many are in other countries me i left the USA
@@jameshumphrey9939 GOOD RIDDANCE! DO NOT EVER COME BACK YOU COWARDLY, LIBTARD TRAITOR!
An emotional series. Thank you for this extraordinary look at present day struggles of the people of Venezuela.
In particular, a special shout out to Lenny who looked out for you while while taking you to visit the good people of Venezuela living their day to day lives under such challenging times .
Peace.
Thanks so much, yes, a huge thank you to Lenny.
@@IndigoTraveller thnk u nic go 2 egyp
As a Venezuelan American, thanks for such an authentic representation of Venezuela, its people, and the terrible moment in time they are enduring. Each of your videos impacted me profoundly, and allowed me to share so much with my family and friends.
I lived in Venezuela in 82-83. It was such a great time. People were happy large middle class, mobility. Entrepreneurship. Hopefully, freedom and the ability to succeed, freewill thought will come back. They can do it again. I lived in Cabudare, Barqusimeto, Maracaibo, Cabimas and Machiques. I loved the people and the Country. Barqusimeto is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I always wanted to go back to visit.
@orionh3000 lol
Barquisimeto it's kind of a hell on earth right now. Along with Maracaibo.
@@supercucho12 i know, really sad.
This should be required viewing for all the leftists in the U.S.A. Antifa needs to see that the current Venezuela is what their actions are leading too. That in the U.S.A. there are infiltrators in congress and running for President. Bernie Sanders, AOC, the other two muslim ladies who weren't received in Israel, Pelosi etc. That is what their work leads too. Venezuela.
God bless the country mine (at risk of becoming Venezuela and poor Venezuela right now) Love to your people there!
Amor para ustedes. Que Dios Les Bendiga!
M we should do a cultural exchange- Antifa for a Venezuelan that wants to escape socialism.
It’s hard to get unbiased journalism but you have captured it with your series on Venezuela 🇻🇪. I can’t thank you enough!
@MiG-23 it's my country! US only helping to get us help, as you have to cut the head off of the snakes in power. Don't talk about what you don't know. mig which is russian plane word. Your country only helped the government!!!!
This makes me so mad when people from country like russia that helped destroy our country for their own gain!!! We want us help not russia anymore as that has no worked out!! 🇻🇪🇺🇸
@MiG-23 this still nake me mad! Your country is only supporting this terrible government and do not care about the people!!! We want friends with the US and their friends now, not russia anymore! 🇻🇪🇺🇸
USA STOP THE SANCTIONS! PEOPLE DIE BECAUSE 80% OF THE MEDICALS CAN'T BE IMPORTED
MiG-23 You are absolutely correct. Just because some Venezuelans don’t agree with you does not mean you are not correct. Remember, there are people in the United States who think Trump is a good president. You don’t have to be from Venezuela to know what’s going on in that country. I’ve been there and I know more than some Venezuelan people living in the United States. All that being said, life is extremely difficult there for many. Multinationals, the United States and its allies, the world bank and the IMF have screwed the country at every turn. The sanctions are keeping medicine, food staples and repair parts needed for hospital equipment from reaching the country. People are dying because of this. If this is how a Venezuelan person wants help from the United States and its allies then all they really care about is themselves.
@@MrKindermusik russia partnership is a big driver of our government in that they support this terrible president and government. US sanctioning us hurts in short term but will help long term. This is long game
My heart aches for the country. I have Venezuelan friends and they are one of the nicest people I know. So heartbreaking to see their country so mismanaged like this!
Definitely heartbreaking 💔
My heart aches for their pets and zoo animals that the dumb animals left to starve....that they didnt eat.
Mismanaged ! Another misguided American with idiotic ideas due to US propaganda.
😓 my home for 20 years. Its devastating to see how it has turned. Was married there, children born there, was the best years of my life. My prayers to all my friend who are still there.
Hi Nick! Venezuela is extremely difficult to understand from outside. You made a great approximation of what it really is. Thank you for showing what it is going on there. It helps to show what this political-economical crisis has done to my beautiful country. I'm sure you saw we still believe everything is going to change, and the country will be even greater as it was in the 80's.
Is very easy to understand, the history repeats it's self over and over again, same what happened in many Latinamerican countries The USA wants to control every single country so they can exploit and steal recources. With coups, sanctions, or even murdering elected leaders. Only the ignorant and brain washed don't understand this.
Christian Brandstetter it’s funny because you are the fool and the brainwashed. Yes many evil politicians have lied to the people in the US to get into power only to take advantage of the system and do wrong things. But overall the US is the best force on earth right now and any country that the US was successful in changing it’s government has been prosperous. You’re the sheep because you only mention the bad things that have come out of America but failed to see the great things this country has done. Name another country who has done so much positive in this world. You’re also dumb for not understanding politics and not knowing how shit works. The only way for a country to help it’s citizens overthrow their corrupt government without a war is by sanctions. Obviously at first it’s usually the people that suffer the most, but overtime things will change. It’s funny because people in Venezuela and Iran don’t hate the US for what’s done and actually love America. If you meet with any of this people most of them will complain to you about their government. Venezuelans will say socialism and Iranians will say their sharia law run country.
@@ElCSB Nope socialism and corrupt leaders, you may understand you may not, get educated, lose the CHIP bro....
@@nevadadavoode83 hear hear, truth!
@@nevadadavoode83 Well I'm sorry for you ignorance and how brainwashed you are, but the truth is out there you just have to open a book or go to those country and talk with ppl what about the Syrian war? Look how the US supported ISIS rebels with CIA help to drop chemical bombs and then blame Assad? Is over the news world wide and the IRAK war on false accusation How many millions die and still dying? What about the Coup in Chile elected president? Pinochet killed thousands of ppl! Now who is the ignorant? What about Vietnam, still they are ppl dying of cancer from orange agents? Are you just stupid or what or maybe CIA troll? USA is the cancer in the world. This just the tip of the iceberg.
Thank you Nick, thank you Lenny. Wishing you all the best. It was awesome, really.
I left the country 6 years ago... I'm in tears right now... but thank you Nick from the bottom of my heart❤ God bless you. Y muchas gracias a Lenny por cuidarte. Viva Venezuela libre 🇻🇪
Why did you leave, not to sound harsh but interested on a real opinion of lived experience.
Venezuela will make a comeback. Good always triumphs over evil.
I wish the best for Lenny and all the people there. Great travels to you man.
Thanks for bringing to life the stories that my Venezuela friends had shared. So heartbreaking for such beautiful resilient people. 🙏🏻 for Venezuela. ❤️ and safe travels.
This was a great series of Venezuela. Watched all 10 episodes. What a great portrayal of the country....Such a balanced view👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
sounds like the USA
@@jameshumphrey9939 ASSHOLE!
Venezuela is in crisis... yes. But people is still living, getting married, having children. Life doesn't stop because of the situation. It just makes it harder and at the same time the small joys are more fulfilling.
I am from Venezuela and someone once told me: When things go wrong you wait for a spark of happiness and make it an explosion to last longer to endure the times when things are not so great.
I think those words summarize very well Venezuelans philosophy. Make the most of the small joys that life gives you. Bittersweet...
Also, you can't underestimate the strength that comes from family support... Venezuelans rely heavily in family and from there, we get the joys that keep us going.
Desde Brasil, desejo que Dios los bendiga, hermano.
Life does end for the 23 thousand people that are assassinated each year in Venezuela.
The spirit of local people is so bright, strong and beautiful energy shines through that horrible situation that everyone has been dealing with. The place itself is so unique and I feel like so long as everyone can keep standing for what is right, and working together to make your communities stronger inspite of these hardships, the days of victory will be truly amazing! I am praying for you all and many of my fellow Americans I know are doing the same, we hope that you guys can stay strong through these times and know you have many individuals praying for you all!! Love from USA🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@FreeAmerica4Ever too much cheap talk.

Thanks for this great look at Venezuela. I made multiple trips there in the glory days of the eighties and nineties and was amazed at the daily struggle residents face now
This whole series of videos has been amazing, great work, as a Venezuelan still living here is good to find a great way to show my friends abroad the duality of living in a country like this, I was wishing you manage to get into the border with Colombia since the things are way different than what you saw in Caracas, sometimes for better, sometimes for worse, but THANKS for capturing the lovely essence of my people, wish you the best on your next journey.
kingmanx Hola Manuuuu 😂 interesante encontrarte acá 😂👍🏻 tremendo documental, you’re right. Este pana es un valiente. 👍🏼🎉
Thank you man, I've been following your videos as a Venezuelan... I think that what you did is admirable. To show the world truth about our country, without staining it with political truth (this is very hard to do, specially for Venezuelans). This videos are raw in the best sense of the word.
Great job Nick, .........I am from Venezuela myself and have lived in Australia for 28 years........never been back to my country or have seen my family for the same time............. there is so much to the complexity of the tragedy in Venezuela but I praise your work............not many people can report about Venezuela without being too biased, or too grim, or too naive or simply too ignorant, since we native Venezuelans often struggle to find the right words or to explain what’s really going on without getting confused ourselves.........you were very lucky to have Lenny and Jose with you.........I am totally convinced your experience would have been vastly different should you not had their guidance and assistance...........you were also very lucky to have experienced the real hospitality, humanity, joy, warmth and openness of our people.........that’s who we really are in despite of our problems and idiosyncrasy ..........I will keep an eye for your coming videos and look forward to the Q & A ........once more thank you Nick for your time and honesty ..........if you ever come down to Melbourne and would love to have a cup of coffee .........I’m up for that................
Whats the reason you avent been back since?
Thank you so much.well done you guys thanks to the locals for all there help and hospitality grazie ciao
WOW!!! It has been a great and rollercoaster experience, and we thank God for a journey mercy. Thank you Nick, we are very privileged to be carried along through out this journey. Special appreciation to Lenny, he has been a wonderful and helpful man, and our prayers and thoughts are always with them; Venezuelans. With love from Nigeria. Muchas Gracias!!!
Ohh, I love each video about my country!
I kind of feel so sad after watching this, and after you left Lenny and the guys. I really feel like you brought me along on the journey with you. This was so raw and well presented. Really the best travel series I've seen on CZcams, and I've also seen all your travel series haha :) But amazing job, really great and eye opening work. Thank you so much!
You maded a fantastic series of videos in Venezuela, what you did here it''s simply amazing. I hope one day you return and find a better situation so you could other places. Thanks for showing our country to the rest of the world in a unique and incredible way. Good bye Nick
Fascinating series Nick. Glad you got out in one piece and gave a voice to the people. Looking forward to the Q&A
I am also looking forward to the Q&A!
It is worse that what seen....Orinoco, The Amazon, our indigenous being killed. The inside of the country....What a beauty!..It will heal🙏
I've been binge watching your videos for the past 3 days and I just want to say thank you for your presence. Your videos truly feed our eyes and souls just by watching it. Thank you for using your channel as a window for us to virtually see the other side of the world from a whole new perspective. Sending love all the way from the Philippines. Respect to you, Nick! 👏🏻
Its so sad to reach the last episode of the Venezuelan saga, I have enjoyed specially. Thanks for portraying the good and the bad in a very objective manner and to the Venezuelan people the world is behind you, overthrow that terrible regime and become the great country you were born to be. From Catalonia with love.
Muchas gracias Nick. I still think about the soup kitchen that you visited. I know that the go-fundme link made a huge impact. Many people contributed. Great job

thank you so much for coming to our country and for sharing our reality here in venezuela, god bless you and don't forget Venezuela will always be your home whenever you wish to return. hopefully, our bad situation will change soon so you can enjoy every moment and every place without thinking about dangers or problems we currently live with.
Mucho gusto haberlo tenido de guia, señor Lenny. Espero un dia yo tambien experimentar lo que aun se sigue viendo como un pais hermoso a pesar de la situacion.
Thanks for taking the time, the risk and putting in the effort to bring attention to this country in crisis. Safe travels mate, really enjoyed this series!
"A lot of time and education to rebuild" very important statement.
I was in Caracas in the early 1970’s and dearly loved the city and also the people. One place I ate dinner was the Humbolt Hotel. One evening Colonel Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken was also there at the same time.
Your videos on Venezuela are fine. I like it so much . You showed both sides life. Rich and poor people, their life on a single room. The videos take us to another world. beautiful nature and really adventurous to go there. THANK YOU NICK.
Great series, it's sad your time to leave had come but you did a great job in your videos showing reality in Venezuela.
Thanks for giving us perspective, showing the real people and not just what we see on the news, despite the crisis. Nice to hear Lenny’s take on things. His pictures are great. We will keep following him. I also really enjoyed the music in this edit - very evocative. Thanks as always Nick for what you’re doing, and glad you’re alive!!
By far my favorite series of travel videos on YT. Your Venezuela series is real and raw. I loved it all and thank you for showing the world the crisis in Venezuela. Glad you were safe.
Thank you so much for this series! Sharing this ment allot for the Venezuelan people and my self as well. I've been sending what I can as far as care packages to Venezuela as I follow the sad stories of about 20 different individuals in Venezuela from all corners of the country. Some have left and I've followed there migrations and some are still trying to ride out the storm. Thanks again!!!!
Thanks Charles, good on you for your help ❤️🇻🇪
Venezuela I have no doubt a better and brighter day is coming for you. 🙏🏻
Incredible series of videos. I am from Venezuela and sadly I had to leave to the country years ago but the situation nowadays is even worse from what I lived. I really admire your courage, and Lenny's, because you went to very dangerous places that as Lenny says, locals don't dare to go. It impresses me that after being in other countries such as Iran or several Sub Saharan African countries you say that Venezuela has been the most overwhelming.
Finally, thank you for sharing this to the world. Honestly, thank you. Even though in the past years we might receive some media coverage, what media can say is not even close to the real situation and the vibe it gives being in such a place with such hard conditions.
@GG I am not talking only in terms of crime or poverty, I also meant hostility towards outsiders or foreigners. I haven't seen the episodes of Iran but I would guess if you are a blond guy with a camera filming and walking around you wouldn't feel very safe.
@@andresdascoli151 ... As a fellow Venezuelan, I have to tell you that you are coming off as quite ignorant. Iran is a safe country. The Persians are very friendly people towards travelers because they actually feel grateful for their visits. The Persians also go from black to blond. There are blond Iranians that look like the Indigo Traveler, and there are some that look like you. I felt perfectly safe and welcomed in Iran. Iran and Venezuela are the same in that they were prosperous oil nations damaged by their own governments, but that's the only thing they are the same in.
Iran's government is very repressive, to locals and outsiders. I actually know someone who was retained and had its passport taken for a day before leaving and got asked a bunch of questions because of "suspicious activities". So I am not talking about the its people's eduction or any of the things you mentioned, I am talking of its repressive government and how they might see as a threat having a westerner filming around. However, I am going to watch Indigo Traveller's series of videos on Iran which most probably will be as representative as this one was on Venezuela and I might change my mind. Hope this makes my point clear as I wont be replying to this thread anymore. Cheers.
Intense journey and a real eye opener. Thank you Lenny and all those who have helped Nick be safe in your beautiful but troubled country. Wishing all Venezuelans find peace very soon. Thank you for sharing such an amazing journey, and of course I can't wait to see where you turn up next.
Nick, I have followed your videos for some time now but this series tops them all. It’s authentic, it’s realistic, and unfortunately it provides the viewers with the raw data needed to conclude that the situation is unlivable. Un abrazo grande a Lenny y a José por su valor, su optimismo dentro de esa vorágine, y su fidelidad a Venezuela en las buenas y malas. God bless!🙏
Such a beautiful, lush, green place , bountiful seas and a rich, vibrant, artistic culture and oil on tap. The only problem this place should have is over-tourism.
Sarcasm much? In what planet do you live?
@@ElCid48 Relax, I dont think there was any sarcasm. Its the truth. So piss off!!!
You're naive.
Not at all. I’m merely stating the potential the country has in terms of natural resources.

Thank you for visiting our country and show a little part of what is happening
Fantastic series Nick! I grew up in Venezuela but left before Chavez, while it was a relatively decent place to live. You have brought to light the BEST and most realistic portrait of the current situation.
The videos in this series should be part of the collective memory in the future so future generations can remember and see the outcome of bad governments, corruption and greed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart
I am so happy i found this site. I have never been out of the USA, now as an old lady i can travel the world as it is. Not just see the advertised tourist sites. So beautiful, yet so sad. Thank you.
It was fantastic my prayers from Jordan to the ppl of Venezuela
Your work is incredible
This has been an eye-opener, my dude. Can only imagine the rest of the things you have witnessed. Thanks for sharing a more real image of the situation than mainstream media normally would. Hope you have an awesome adventure in your next destination too! All the best, Nick :)
USA STOP THE SANCTIONS! PEOPLE DIE BECAUSE 80% OF THE MEDICALS CAN'T BE IMPORTED
Huge respect from Brasil, Nick! Even though my country is right next to Venezuela, I was never sure if the news about it were just propaganda, biased or sensationalist, but now that I've watched your videos, I see that the situation is even worse than one could have imagined. I hope that the good Venezuelan people can get their country on track again and that all those horrible stories will come to an end and be healed! Thank you very much, man. You are great!
Thanks so much ❤️
Thank you for the great Journalism you did. I’m in Miami since 2017 and is crazy how much I miss my country. Thank you for share to the world how I see it through my eyes.

thanks for showing my country to the world from up close
Wow! This series of Venezuela is a must see for all people. Thank you for bringing your experience to us, it is so appreciated. Safe travels and I look forward to your next video.
I watched this whole series and all I have to say is... thank you. Thank you for showing my country and my city so much love and understanding, thank you for showing the reality that they are still going through due to an unfortunate situation. Thank you for being so respectful. I really appreciated this
"you cannot escape the crisis no matter where you go" wow that's actually quite heartbreaking.
@anny791 I am Venezuelan myself, so yes I can tell everybody is affected :/
Actually he was staying in a five stars hotel
A fantastic adventure and thank you so much for sharing with us your videos, great stuff and keep up the good work. Cheers from Canada
I'm so sad this series is over. I really miss Venezuela and my city Caracas, I wish I could be there and see my parents again. But as many Venezuelans, my passport is expired and it is impossible to renew it at the consulate. So I can't leave for the time being the country that is hosting me until I get my new citizenship. But I keep strong and think of them and help them from abroad, it's the only way I can support them. Thank you for your time to make these videos.
Question, why can't you renew your passport?
Safe travels back. Look foward to your upcoming videos!
Great series Nick - many thanks. It would be great, and interesting, to see you and Lenny team up again in another country. He is an impressive guy.
This was an incredible series. Very eye opening, beautifully made! Thank you!
Excellent video series! Thank You and please stay safe Nick!
Amazing videos! Top shelf! You really tell the whole story like no other media can... You are a brave and highly intelligent man and should be recognized by the main stream... Keep doing what you love and thank you for educating millions of us...
While Caracas weeps Manila prays. Un paìs muy lindo igual de filipinas. Desde provincia de Yloilo, filipinas.
I hope they are able to reclaim their beautiful country
you can't imagine how lucky you were, that this trip went completely safe. I left the country 5 years ago and I have the dream to go back to visit but I don't dare to do it. Thanks for showing us our home.
Thanks for this series of videos of my country. I'm still living here, and I really hope that we can go trought this nightmare that we're actually are living soon and you and the world could come and meet better Venezuela.
God bless you, Nick.
Thank you so much for this, as a Venezuelan currently residing in here I feel so grateful with your representation of our situation.
Beautiful words, thank you ❤️
Never forget this quote: "The ONLY thing needed for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing" You, Sir, are a good man. But we need more good men and women in Venezuela. People are dying and suffering. Please help Venezuela and her people.
Absolutely amazing series and told from the heart from the people you met and yourself. This was journalistic in its quality and questioning. It was eye-opening how quickly a society can go from relative security to chaos and danger. I truly wish for the people of Venezuela a turnaround to a better future. It looks like it's going to be tough but from watching these videos there is no doubt the people of that beautiful country have the resolve, resilience and even patience to work through this dark period and come out the other side with a rare and precious wisdom. Truly great work in a difficult situation.
Nick, I've always enjoyed your videos a lot... but the Venezuela series reaches into me and touched me greatly. Like the numerous other comment's, I can't thank you enough for your dedication and special effort to have made this series. Bless the people of Venezuela and bless you, too. Be safe, my friend.
Certainly the heaviest situation I've seen you deal with before so must be a huge relief to get out of there. Sadly I doubt the situation will improve any time soon but we can only wish that will be the case for the people of Venezuela. I'm glad that you were open about the situation there because there is no point in sugar coating it when the reality is that it is a very dangerous country
I'm speechless what a beautiful end to an amazing series. Jose an lenny are such awesome ppl. Cant wait to see what your future travels hold!
As the majority of your Subscribers i would like to say what a great job you have done giving the world of CZcams an insightful unbiased view of what is going on in Venezuela. So thank you.
My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Venezuela that they will come through this.
Also big thanks must go to all the people who helped you make this series of videos and kept you safe.
What an amazing series. I had heard of the unrest there, but through your series have learned so much.
Hi Nick Indigo Traveller loved your video series on Venezuela and all your other travel videos. Hope you go to Cuba and do a video series on Cuba.
@MiG-23 that's not nice he makes great travel videos
Excellent production values with your videos, my friend. Well done. When I think about the economic trouble and corruption in Venezuela I am reminded of the phrase, "there, yet, for the grace of God, go I." I pray daily for the good people in Venezuela and for good times to return there soon.
Thank you for lending us ur eyes to experience what's happening in Venezuela. It was amazing series.
Can't wait to see another journeys further!
